The present invention relates to be particularly useful for the hydraulic system of the electro-mechanical transmission on the endless-track vehicle, wherein said hydraulic system is driven by the electric power input at least in part.
Background technique
Transmission for vehicles generally includes hydraulic system, and this hydraulic system provides cooling and lubricated to transmission components, but and supercharging torque drive mechanism so that speed changer can gear shift and vehicle can brake.Be typically provided with electronic control unit with control fluid stream, hydraulic system general using pump and various valve are need guide fluid in response to vehicle operating.
Electric caterpillar band vehicle one or more electric propulsions of (for example tank) general using and steer motor independently utilize the electric wheel motor to control track speed in the crawler belt place by machine power path (for example, axle and gear) or at each.Motor can be driven by the power source that energy is provided to generator (for example internal-combustion engine or diesel engine), and generator stores the energy in the battery subsequently with drive motor.
Summary of the invention
Because the electric caterpillar band vehicle have can be electric the power that uses of form, so a kind of electronic transmission fluid pressing system need be provided.But when electric power breaks down, need guarantee that hydraulic pressure can suitably control crucial vehicle functions, as braking with turn to, and guarantee to provide cooling and lubricated.Therefore, the invention provides a kind of electro-mechanical transmission hydraulic system with electronic main pump, the stand by pump function that is provided by battery-driven service pump and Mechanical Driven rear pump in power failure is provided described electronic main pump.Particularly, described electronic main pump provides fluid to the transmission components that comprises at least one torque-transmitting mechanisms, and preferably, the described transmission components common transmission oil loop, steer motor and the drive motor that comprise break, hold first and second out-put containers of the fluid that is used to cool off described break and be used for lubricated transmission gear and bearing.
Described hydraulic system also comprises battery-driven service pump, and when the electric power of supplying with described main pump can't use, described battery-operated service pump can be operated selectively, engages one of described torque-transmitting mechanisms so that enough hydrodynamic pressures to be provided.The joint of described torque-transmitting mechanisms is operably connected to described drive motor on the speed changer output element, thereby the ability that makes described speed changer output element rotation is provided.Rear pump is operably connected on the described speed changer output element, and drive by the rotating machinery ground of described output element, provide fluid so that when electric power breaks down, substitute described main pump to described transmission components, be used for cooling and lubricated break between period of traction.When described main pump broke down owing to other reason, described service pump and rear pump provided this reserve function also can for described main pump.
Preferably, described main pump is the multistage centrifugal pump with the structure (pump case that for example has rotatable impeller) that forms a plurality of runners.Described main pump may command is to provide four levels that comprise cooling class, high pressure stage and the first and second backflow levels.In described cooling class, the hydrodynamic pressure that described main pump provides is first (higher) flow and first (lower) pressure.In described high pressure stage, the hydrodynamic pressure that described main pump provides is for less than second flow of described first flow with greater than second pressure of described first pressure.Described cooling class provides common lubricated can for described oil circuit, and described high pressure stage can engage the torque-transmitting mechanisms in the described speed changer.In the described first backflow level, described main pump operation is back to storage tank with the fluid with described first out-put container.Similarly, in the described second backflow level, the fluid of described second out-put container is back to described storage tank.Therefore, when fluid needn't cool off break at described out-put container place (for example, when not using described break), make the spin loss minimum relevant with fluid by fluid being returned described storage tank.
When main pump fault or power loss took place, described service pump may command provided hydrodynamic pressure so that stop to described torque-transmitting mechanisms when described output element reaches predetermined speed.Therefore, the joint that is enough to the service pump by described torque-transmitting mechanisms when vehicle starts when making that it reaches predetermined speed, and described rear pump replaces the function that hydrodynamic pressure is provided to described transmission components.

The hydraulic system operation
With reference now to Fig. 1,, shows four levels of main pump 40: cooling class A, high pressure stage B, the first backflow level C and second a backflow level D.Suppose to use HVDC electric power, the main pump among Fig. 2 40 can be operated so that each in these grades to be provided so.Cooling class A provides maximum cool stream, and is designed to provide the fluid stream of 90 liters/minute (1pm).Cooling class A is provided by the impeller 46 of Fig. 2, and is low pressure high flow capacity level be used for circulating fluid for transmission, cooling and lubricated purpose.Cooling class A is from storage tank 34 sucking-off fluids, and provide fluid through first safety check 62, along runner 64, by runner 66, by filter 68, along runner 70 to cooler 72, again along runner 74 to restriction 76A, 76B and 76C, to cool off respectively and lubricated drive motor 12, steer motor 14 and oil circuit 16.In addition, runner 78 leads to runner 80, allows cooling class stream so that supercharging high-pressure level B further describes as following.
Under the authorized pressure in cooler 72 and the situation of temperature conditions, particularly, when oily temperature is lower than predeterminated level, when perhaps the cooler pressure drop was higher than predeterminated level, cooler bypass valve 82 allowed fluids to walk around cooler 72 to runner 74 from runner 70.Similarly, under the predetermined pressure drop situation, filter bypass valve 84 permission fluids directly to runner 70, are walked around runner 66 and filter 68 from runner 64.Sensor 86 provides the alarm that filter bypass will take place.If the pressure in the runner 64 has surpassed predeterminated level, pressure relief valve 67 is directed to storage tank 34 by tap hole 69 with excessive fluid so.
The high pressure stage B of the main pump 40 of Fig. 2 can operate that (for example, fluid 30lpm) so that in 21 place's application area and braking control, promptly engages selected clutch and break by TDS controller 57 controls of Fig. 3 so that the high pressure low discharge to be provided.In high pressure stage, the further supercharging of the fluid in the runner 80, and by the scope and braking control of second safety check 88 to runner 90 and 21 places.Main inlet control valve 92 is configured to the excess fluid in the runner 90 is discharged in the runner 80.All excess pressure streams of being discharged by pressure regulator valve 92 in the runner 90 all are recycled to pump intake 52C by runner 80.
The main pump 40 of Fig. 2 also provides the first backflow level C and second a backflow level D, respectively as shown in fig. 1.First refluxes level C from first out-put container, 30 removal fluids, and it is back to the storage tank 34 of central container 35.Therefore, fluid flows out from first out-put container 30, is pumped to storage tank 34 along runner 96.Similarly, second refluxes level D from second out-put container, 32 removal fluids, and it is pumped to storage tank 34 along runner 96, and wherein runner 96 also links to each other with the reflux pump exhaust port.The backflow of out- put container 30,32 has reduced the resistance that the rotary component (for example gear and break) in these zones causes, and has improved the total efficiency of vehicle 11.
The hydraulic system redundancy
Therefore, the main pump 40 of Fig. 2 has satisfied clutch application, brake application, cooling and the lubricated needs (following rear pump 100 provides the break cooling simultaneously) of the vehicle 11 of Fig. 1.But when main pump 40 broke down, when perhaps 610 volts DC bus 49 emergent powers lost, hydraulic system comprised redundant pumping system, and this redundancy pumping system comprises service pump 98 and rear pump 100.Service pump 98 is taken over and the continuation effect when main pump 40 breaks down, and it is by the fluid of battery 102 power supplies with conveying 4lpm.Therefore, pump 98 is by filling the C1 clutch along fluid course 104 transmission fluids and at 18 places.Therefore, the C1 clutch can rotate output element 22 by the mechanical connection (for example axle and gear) that is connected thereto, as understood by those skilled in the art.Pressure relief valve 106 is connected with runner 104 fluids, and this safety valve 106 is discharged to storage tank 34 by opening tap hole 108 with excessive hydrodynamic pressure.Preferably, pressure relief valve 106 is opened at the pressure of 2000kPa.
In case C1 clutch, 18 make the output element 22 can powered vehicle in the position, make when vehicle reaches the speed of the stream that allows mechanical driven rear pump 100 to produce to allow full-automatic action and pressure, as described below, so just pass through the signal at stop service pump 98 of the TDS controller 57 of Fig. 3.TDS controller 57 is battery-operated, rather than is driven by 610 volts DC bus 49, thereby still can play a role when 610 volts power supply breaks down.
Rear pump 100 mechanically drives by the rotation of output element 22, and wherein rear pump 100 is connected on the output element 22 by chain belt or other mechanical connecting device 100.Machinery 20 provides the braking cooling liquid of high flow capacity to break from hydrodynamic pressure rear pump 100 in the position, taking away heat from brake disc during braking, and provides lubricated, as described below when towing vehicle 11.Because as long as output element 22 running all mechanically drives rear pump 100, so even when main pump 40 can move, the braking refrigerating function of rear pump 100 also can appear.In addition, rear pump 100 comprises valve and the logic of supporting for the hydraulic system redundancy of main pump 40, exerts pressure with the braking control of giving torque-transmitting mechanisms and 21 places, position, provides lubricated for drive motor 12, steer motor 14 and lubricating loop 16, and is as described below.Therefore, rear pump 100 provides the operation system redundancy about main pump 40.For example, when brake application device when (as sending to break coolant valve 112 by brake signal valve 114), break coolant valve 112 allows from rear pump 100 along runner 116,118 and 120 flowing to 20 the break in the position.But when brake application device not, break coolant valve 112 is not opened, and rear pump bypass valve 122 allows the rear pump stream in the runners 116 to be discharged in the storage tank 34.When the fluid in the runner 91 reached predeterminated level, rear pump bypass valve 122 also allowed fluid (for example, the fluid in the runner 91) to be discharged in the storage tank 34.Sentinel valve 126 is operably connected between break coolant valve 112 and the rear pump bypass valve 122.When break coolant valve 112 was opened, sentinel valve 126 was by closing the reverse logic of rear pump bypass valve 122 of rear pump bypass valve 122, and vice versa.
Rear pump safety check 134 is corresponding to the stress level in runner 91 and 128, and cause when in runner 128, producing pressure in the position of break coolant valve 112 and rear pump bypass valve 122, for example, when activating rear pump bypass valve 122 because the pressure in the runner 91 is too low, so break coolant valve 112 is closed and rear pump bypass valve 122 when not discharging fluids by tap hole 124, rear pump safety check 134 is opened to allow fluid to supply to runner 91 from rear pump 100.
In addition, when main pump 40 inoperative, and when the pressure in the runner 128 is higher than pressure in the runner 66, rear pump 100 outputs are up to the fluid of 75 1pm, it is along runner 128, by safety check 130, restriction 132, by filter 68 and cooler 72, reach drive motor 12, steer motor 14 and lubricating loop 16, to keep function.In addition, the pressure in the lubricant pressure sensor 77 sensing runners 74, and this information sent it back electronic controller 38 makes the required adjusting that can begin fluid stream.Under normal operation (that is, when brake application device not), lube regulator valve 79 makes too much lubricant oil flow back to storage tank 34 by valve 122.
Safety check 62,88 and 130 prevents the discharge of not expecting that the output by high pressure stage B, cooling class A and rear pump runner 116 causes respectively.Particularly, when power failure caused main pump 40 faults of Fig. 2, safety check 88 prevented that fluid from flowing through high pressure stage B, and safety check 62 prevents that fluid from flowing through cooling class A.Equally, in this case,,, be expelled back into respectively in the storage tank 34 to allow out-put container 30,32 so first pressure equalizing valve 136 and second pressure equalizing valve 138 are opened because backflow level C and D are inoperative.When main pump 40 runnings, safety check 130 prevents to discharge fluid and passes through valve 112 or 122 along runner 66.When main pump 40 can't turn round, by the flow of rear pump 100, safety check 62,88,130 made hydraulic system 10 can bring into play use.
Referring to figs. 1 to the description described in 3, provide the method for fluid to comprise for the transmission components of electro-mechanical transmission: (promptly to first pump, main pump 40) transmits electric power (promptly, by bus 49), the first pump may command (by TDS controller 57 and electronic controller 38) is to provide fluid to transmission components selectively, for example the torque-transmitting mechanisms of locating in scope and braking control (position 21), in the position C1 clutch and other transmission components at 18 places, for example drive motor 12, steer motor 14 and comprise speed changer lubricating loop 16.But if can not use along the electric power of bus 49, perhaps main pump 40 is because other reason can't turn round, this method comprises to second pump (promptly so, service pump 98) carry the battery can (that is), with to 18 torque-transmitting mechanisms C1 clutch provides fluid in the position from battery 102.This fluid has engaged the C1 clutch, and speed changer output element 22 can be rotated.Thereby by the 3rd pump, promptly the break at 20 places provides fluid to the rear pump 100 that drives by speed changer output element 22 to the scope at 21 places in the position and braking control, drive motor 12, lubricating loop 16, steer motor 14 with in the position.In addition, this method can comprise when the rotation of output element 22 reaches predetermined speed, stops the power of battery (that is the power of battery 102) to service pump 98.In this speed, rear pump 100 is enough to system's fluid power of keeping whole.
